sm's lecture is good advice. (am I surprised?) I proposed to SWMBO about 6 months after we started dating, which was 6 years after we met. I was also 36 at the time. I had flamed through a lot of relationships by that time, exorcising my demons, making bad choices, finally figuring a few key things out.

Obviously, you had a different upbringing than I did, and hopefully have less crazyness to undo, but as SM points out: you and your s/o will be significantly different people when you are 20,25, 30, etc.

Try a road trip of three months, see if you even want to speak to one another after that.

good luck
